SLIDING AND SWING-ING- SASH Application filed. August 2, 1929. Serial No. 382,893.

This invention deals with sliding sashes made of wood or metal. The purpose of this invention is to permit the cleaning of the outside of the window pane from an interior 5 position and also to allow for full ventilation as in the manner of casement windows. The invention consists of a new construction combining both sliding and swinging sash.

The construction indicates that on one side of the sash there is a sliding hinge. On the opposite side any form of hardware can be used for fastening or opening purposes. This will permit the sash to be pushed up and down and at the same time permit same to be swung inward.

The accompanying drawings illustrate:

Fig. 1 shows a plan section through a metal sash in sliding position.

Fig. 2 shows a plan section through a wooden sash in swinging position.

Fig. 3 shows a plan section through a metal sash in swinging position.

Fig. 4 shows a plan section through a wooden sash in sliding position.

55 Fig. 5 shows a plan section through a metal sash in swinging position.

Fig. 6 shows a plan section through a wooden sash in sliding position.

The drawings covered by Figures 1 to 6 show three different constructions in sliding-swinging sashes.

Figures 1 and 2 show a pressed or drawn metal band No. 1 which is fastened on the side of the sash and which fits into the jamb :5 between metal strips. This permits the sash to slide up and down and also swing inwards from the jamb. This type of construction will be used for heavy windows and doors.

Constructions covered by drawings shown if) in Figures 3 and 4; are for use in the same manner as mentioned above and will be used for ordinary or medium sized windows and doors. In this construction a hinge band No. 2 is employed, half of which is fastened L5 to the sash and the other half slides up and down in the jamb. When the window is swung inward the action takes place around the band hinge center.

Constructions covered by drawings shown in Figures 5 and 6 are for use in the same.

manner as mentioned heretofore and will be applied to small windows and doors, and particularly used in altering the now existing sliding sash into a sliding-swinging sash. One hinge No. 3 is fastened to the top of the sash and another hinge opposite of No. 3 to the bottom of the sash and they are also fastoned to the sliding band in the jamb. When the window is swung inward the action takes place around the top and bottom hinge center.

The use of a sliding-swinging sash will eliminate the possibilities of accidents resulting from windows cleaned from the outside. All sashes made in this manner are easily handled and remove the danger and inconvenience connected with outside window cleaning. Cleaner windows will be the result of more frequent cleanings on account of the greater facility and convenience made possible by this invention.

The above describes my invention in detail, together with the manner in which it will operate and I therefore claim that this invention will make possible the following:

1. In a window construction of the class described, including a pair of sashes and channeled jambs, hinge connections having one of their leaves secured to thetop and bottom of each sash, on one side of the windows and T-members forming the other leaves of the hinge connection and adapted for vertical reciprocation in the channels of the jambs, and means in the oppositesides of the sashes for allowing a detachment from their 1' ambs.

2. In a window construction of the class described including a pair of sashes and channeled jambs, hinge plates attached to the upper and lower inner edges of each sash, I-members hinged to the inner edges of said plates and vertically reciprocating in the jamb channels, and hinged blocks on the jamb at the side of the sashes opposite to their hinges for allowing a swinging of the sashes about their hinges away from the jamb.

FRANK KOCH.
